K$ is interesting. It's ugly and it's active. It grips.
Rihanna just sits there like a turd. You can practically see her reading off the lyric page when she sings, glancing at her producer for cues.

Very solid album.
I'm guessing Tik Tok is the only song by her that you've heard.
That and another pop single that was forgettable enough to give me no reason to listen further.
Well there you go. K$ has a deep and varied catalog.

I don't really listen to pop or R&B much but I think this album is really damn good. His performances on SNL last Saturday were what got me interested in this album. They were amazing. I did enjoy the singles off of Futuresex/Lovesounds.
There is a song on this album about wanting to take a girl for a romantic trip in a spaceship. That is brilliant.
That Girl is awesome.

Are people ready to admit that this album is head and shoulders better than channel ORANGE?
Honestly it's not even close.
Of course plenty of people will pretend that CO is better because its more indie or something.
nearly spit my drink out reading this. smh...
Unfortunately her singles will be always in the public eye rather than her demos.
Haha! I don't even like Channel ORANGE and I would never say that. Frank is overrated, but at least his album is uniquely him and fresh.
Justin in comparison is soulless and completely uninspired. I think my problem with JT is that his idea of creating a throwback soul-inspired album is to copy/paste from artists who came before. I shouldn't be able to trace so many of his vocal moments (from runs to phrasing to melisma, etc) to Robin Thicke moments or D'Angelo moments or Al Green or Marvin Gaye, but I can - and often note for note. So much of Justin's vocal performance here feels borrowed. I feel 20/20 lags behind Justin's other albums when it comes to giving us a unique take on R&B/Pop. The only unique stamp comes from Tim's production. Justin feels phoned-in.

SMAKIN THAT STRAWBERRY BUBBLEGUM
so good. shit is just on replay.
so good. shit is just on replay.
Overall it's solid. Will re-listen.
Pusher Love Girl - 6/10 with a 8/10 outro
Suit and Tie - 6/10 - Funky but forgettable. Even Jay-Z is not saving this one.
Don't Hold the Wall - 8.5/10 - Love it. Outro takes it to the next level.
Strawberry Bubblegum - 9/10 - This is my jam.
Tunnel Vision - 8.5/10 - Timbaland showing off.
Spaceship Coupe - 7.5/10
That Girl - 6/10 - Just boring.
Let the Groove Get In - 4/10 - Not feeling this latin stuff at all. Waste of a track. Outro maybe adds another point.
Mirrors - 9/10 - A banger, but we already knew this one.
Blue Ocean Floor - 5/10

I can't tell if this is serious.
Well she has over 100 tracks, not including remixes.
It's just that not all of them have been shoved in your face.
The hyperbole in this post, my god.
yessssssss. This song has hook of the year IMO.
cause she's just like NOTHIN

Funny how perspectives work. 'Cause (especially after the other threads concerning his return) it seems like the other way around. But whatever, you like it or don't... move on. No need to keep attempting to validate your opinion and shit. Say your piece (share your thoughts, etc) and let it be.
But wait sis, didn't you make a big point in talking about how CO isn't the least bit fresh?
It is in comparison to this album. Comparing it to MIGUEL'S holy work is another thing entirely.
boom bap & blues? no way man

I was expecting more then that, I was thinking around 600-700k range
I really do hate posting about K$ in JT's thread but plz ppl
Just because you heard Tik Tok and didn't like it doesn't mean you know everything about K$.
I've listened to over 100 songs by her. It runs deep. It's varied.
Ok.
Anyways listened to 20/20 5 times now and completely loving it. Gonna give it a little break so I don't ruin it but for now giving it 8.5/10.

They can project that from online stream reception now? I don't know how they can project anything until they can first day numbers.
I believe that prediction was made around the time preorders began.
Ah I see, that makes sense. Forgot they even did pre-orders for music.

Don't Hold The Wall gives me serious Magoo-era vibes.

Lmao frank ocean knows when to end songs. Justin timberlake thinks everything needs a 6 minute outro
Channel orange obliterates this boredom
It's the album's saving grace. *.*

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Yes Sir
That shit has been on loop since last night
Almost a Summer Jam
Timbo put an amazing beat
When JT just says "mellow, mellow, mellow, mellow... day" I turn to jelly, like Oh Shit!
Are you crazy?
i don't get the suit and tie hate. it's a great little combination of marvin gaye esque soul and pop.
Doesn't help that she releases albums like EA releases versions of madden

Tunnel Vision is hot fire. That should have been the first single. The last song is also really weird and good at the same time. It sounds like an acoustic rock song sung by JT.
